This is a case that has been covered on this blog since Clementi’s suicide was reported in the news and I noted it as one of the top privacy stories in 2010. Unlike the mainstream media, however, I have pointed out that we need to be cautious in labeling such cases “cyberbullying,” and that we should focus – in this case, anyway – on the invasion of privacy aspect. Even if the motivation for surveillance should turn out to be sexual orientation issues, the bigger issue I see is whether an invasion of privacy contributed to a young man’s suicide.
